Background

About Klaire Danoff

I am currently a third-year majoring in both Psychology and Justice & Law at American University who is hoping for a challenging internship or co-op. I transferred to American University for the spring 2023 semester to focus my education on forensic psychology. I was studying Mechanical Engineering and Psychology at the Rochester Institute of Technology where I developed a strong background in math and analytical skills. Through my engineering classes and extracurriculars, I gained experience and skills working collaboratively in a team environment under deadline pressures. Combining my experiences in engineering and my current courses in psychology and criminology, I have developed strong critical thinking and efficient time management skills. I am comfortable working independently as well as with others. My experience as the Investigations Intern for AmeriCorps Office of Inspector General has provided me the opportunity to apply my psychology and criminology learnings to the real world, and improve my critical and analytical thinking, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills. I work directly with Special Agents to investigate fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement of federal funds. This includes investigating open cases, data analysis, assisting with interviews and hotline calls, and drafting reports. My education and experiences have prepared me for a successful career in helping people, data analysis, and law enforcement. I am currently looking for an internship or co-op opportunity where I can apply my skills.
